Automated Network Installation Issue

crahuldba@gmail.com · 09-27-2010, 10:34 AM

Hello everybody
I have successfully install rhel 5 through
network installation using ftp nfs and http.
Now i want to automate this task.
How much i know about this is that i need anaconda-ks.cfg file
for this task.
My question is this:
where i put the ks.cfg file .
during googling i found that it should we on installation cd
which have boot.iso
but i am unable to put both anaconda-ks.cfg + boot.iso
on same cd.
please suggest me how can i put both of them on a single cd
or there any other way for this
Thanks
Rahul

Put your kickstart file on your ftp/web server.

Then at the installation boot: prompt, type linux ks=URL

for example

Code:

 boot: linux ks=ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/myksfile.cfg

For further info, see the Installation Guide
